Halloweenie Roast Invitations and Printer Giveaway

One of my favorite annual parties we host each year is our Halloweenie Roast that we do for some of the neighbor kids. Since Halloween is coming up I’ve been working on party plans so I thought I’d share a few of them with you here on the blog in case any of you are planning any Halloween festivities.

This week I worked on the invitation.

Recently Brother sent me a new Brother ink jet printer to play with. It is a fun little machine. Not only does it print but it also scans, faxes and copies! It’s also wireless so every computer in our house can use the printer.

I decided to give it a test run with my party invitations. Instead of printing them on paper I decided to print them right onto a brown paper lunch sack.

I learned a few tricks along the way. To prevent the bag from jamming in the printer you need to tape the top closed and also tape down the bottom flap of the bag. The tape is easily removed from the bottom flap after it goes through the printer and I just trimmed the top of the bag off, removing the tape.

Love this idea of the paper bags. We will be combining our Halloween celebration with birthday celebration of our youngest granddaughter, Ava. All 5 grandkids will be together (7yrs and under) for a party and trick or treating. Stealing your idea for a weenie roast and then adding s’mores. ( a little more sugar can’t hurt after trick or treating can it) Should be fun!

This will be our last year as at home candy givers since I”ll be 20 weeks preggo at the time. Next year will be exciting to celebrate with our TWIN GIRLS but for this year DH and I will be dressing up and handing out candy to our neighbourhood kids….I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!

Thank you for the wonderful Halloween party idea. I would love to throw a Halloween party – what a great way to get to know your neighbors. I’ll have to put it on my list of things to do for next year. My kids will be dressing an Anikin (Star Wars) and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. We have a Westie terrier instead of a Cairn terrer, but our dog will be Toto. I have an old pink prom dress so I think I’m going to dress as Glenda from Wizard of Oz.

HALLOWEEN IS REALY SPECIAL ,OUR BLOCK GOES IN ABIG WAY OUT OF TOWN IN A SENCE ,WE ALL MAKE IT SO BY DRESSING OUR HOUSES ,GARDEN MOSTLY ,ANY DECO’R FOR ALL THE TICK O’ TRICKERS AS THE PAREDE GOES BY. JENN10

Yes, i am dressing up. every year my neighbors do a halloween party. This year a will be a cute witch. Oh, how i can use this printer, both of my printers have quit working. Thanks for a great blog. I get the best recipes from your website. Last year at the halloween party i won a prize for your pull apart bread appetizers with all the cheeses in it. Yum.

Oh, man. I really, really NEED this printer! Our printer is not very functional at the moment, but I can’t bring myself to buy a new one.

One daughter is dressing up as Rapunzel, one as a unicorn, and I haven’t yet figured out the one-month-old. Too bad we will miss the Halloween party at our ward because we will be in NYC for my husband to compete in the Urbanathlon put on my Men’s Health. Should be fun, though! Thanks for the chance to win!

We will be participating in “Trunk or Treat” at our church. Our youth group will be manning the craft station and the parking lot will be full of cars with their trunks open, decorated and passing out candy. It is a church tradition.

We are still in the little kid phase of going trick or treating, I don’t know if I will dress up but one of my sons sure loves it. He is a seasoned trick or treater and we have an up and coming 2 1/2 year old who went last year, but will really catch on this year. I am excited!

Wow, I have been without a printer for a few months now and would be overjoyed if I won this one! For Halloween we will meet up with friends and their kids and trick or treat through each of our neighborhoods. There has been discussion about the adults dressing up as well – I guess I should start searching craigslist for a costume!

Unfortunately, we can’t host our annual pumpkin carving this year but we will be around to hand out candy to the neighborhood kids. Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway. I could really use this printer.

First of all, I REALLY love the idea of doing an invitation on a paper bag- you have opened up a whole new world for me:) So creative… We will be going to a 4th birthday/costume party for Halloween. My kids plan their costumes months in advance (and change their minds up until the last minute).

Usually we host a big costume party–this year I was going to do a Harry Potter theme! But we can’t do it this year because of work and vacation schedules and I’m sad. Next year, hopefully! We’re dressing up as the Scooby Gang–DH is Fred, I’m Daphne, DD is Velma, DS is Shaggy and the dog will be Scooby. Can’t wait!

We do have great plans though. Trick-or-treating will be followed by a neighborhood Halloween party. Well, PARTIES really. There will be a little kid party hosted by some older teenage girls (our fave babysitters!) at our place, and a grown-up party at another neighbor’s house at the same time.

Should be fun! Hope I win the printer! It’s on my Christmas wish list this year!

Our 7 year old is going as an ninja, our 4 year old is going as snow white or as a pirate, and the 3 year old is going as superman. A new printer would be lovely and the halloween invitation bags look awesome!

We will be participating in a costume parade and “trunk or treat”. We haven’t pinned down what we are dressing as this year. We are running out of time! Now that I moved my computer to my kitchen desk area, I’d love a wireless printer that wasn’t taking up the precious space of my old monstrosity–nice giveaway!

How creative you are~who would have thought of brown paper bags!! My daughter will be home from college on fall break so we will dress up as witches to hand out the candy. That has always been her favorite part of Halloween is seeing everyone in costume at the door! Mine is actually eating all the candy!! Happy Halloweenie!

Those bag invites are so cute! I always wish I lived next door to you so I could get invited to your parties and taste test your baking projects! We have a big family Halloween party planned, an adult party with our friends (I will be Rosie the Riveter and my husband will be a WWII army guy), and we’ll take our kids trick or treating.

This year I am staying close to home, because my son asked me to be ready to take my youngest grandson when he “tuckers out”. That way the oldest ones can keep visiting neighbors. Thank goodness we live in the same neighborhood. So I guess I will dress up as Nana (which will be easy, as I have plenty to chose from in that role!).

In our house, haloween is celebrated with gusto! We’ve already attended Mickey Mouse’s Halloween party, and have about 4 more on the agenda. My little guy will be a shark, and is looking forward to the festivities. We usually have pizza on halloween, followed by trick or treating with the neighbots. Goulish fun!

Thanks for the chance! We will go to a neighbor’s house for dinner (she’s having a little party for the kids) and then take the kids out to trick or treat. After that we’ll come home and let our kids pass out candy to trick or treaters as well. Thanks!

Your bag invitations are adorable. This Halloween I will be participating in our church’s Trunk or Treat event. Then I will make my tradition Pumpkin Stew (delicious) and serving it to all of my family. We will then carve pumpkins and pass out candy to our neighborhood.

Decorating the house as we always do with mummies and rats (my husband likes to keep things scary), putting on my witch hat and hoping for neighbours to arrive. There’s not too many children in our neighbourhood, so I’m only expecting a handful. But we’ll do it anyways.

My family is throwing a Halloween party and inviting all our friends to join us in carving pumpkins. It is a costume party and we will have a prize for the best costume. We’ve created a “Creepy Menu” to add into the festivities. It should be a blast! I can’t wait!

We love Halloween at our house. This year we are doing something extra fun, we are going to Disneyland to experience their haunted house decked out in “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. I love your Halloween bags, the possibilities are endless.

Those are darling! We are having dinner with friends and then taking all of the kids trick-or-treating together. Nothing too exciting, but fun for everyone. My girls are going to be dressed as 50’s girls and my boy will be Buzz Lightyear.

What an awesome giveaway! We hand out candy and “decorate” the front yard to resemble a spooky graveyard. My husband loves this holiday and he dresses up as part of the decoration. He’s even scared quite a few of the teenagers who stop by for candy! I don’t know who has more fun on Halloween my son, or my husband!

We always have neighbors over for a big pot of chili, then we head out with the kids to trick-or-treat in the neighborhood. A little hot apple cider is also a must! Love the printer….oh the possibilities would be endless!

We’ll be greeting and treating the “Trick or Treaters” who appear at our door. If the weather is nice, my husband will be running a “Halloween Train” on our G scale railroad which has a loop near our front door. We have Halloween ghosts and goblins who come year after year to see the train.

We always go to a culdesac in our area where every house goes ALL OUT decorating on a specific theme—it is really like Universal Studios there! (Canterbury Court in Plano, TX) Then we trick-or-treat some of the older folks in town who long for the company. They oooh and ahhhh over each of my children and almost bury them in candy—-hoping they’ll want to visit more often. After Halloween, we stuff pinatas with all the excess candy and donate them to a local shelter for homeless families.

Since our neighborhood is small and the kids don’t have many houses to trick or treat, we host a progressive Halloween activity party at various homes. We do things like apple bobbing, pumpkin bowling, monster mash “treat” walk, etc. Everyone has a great time – especially if the weather cooperates and we can be outside.

Your invitations are adorable! Can’t wait for Halloween cuz our 2 grandbabies from NY will be home for the holiday! Four of our five (a 1 year old, 2 two year olds and a 4 year old) will all get to trick or treat together! We’ll end up back at my daughter’s for our traditional Halloween dinner of homemade chili, hot cider and donuts! And thanks for the chance to win the printer. Ours just died!

Halloween is bigger than Christmas at our house (sad I know). We decorate the inside and outside like crazy. Since we live the Pacific NW also, we have large evergreen trees in our backyard. We use a projector and project a dancing skeleton on one of the trees. Everyone knows where our house and our kids are a famous at school for our house. So needless to say we love Halloween. I could make all sorts of great things with a printer!

What an amazing printer and such a fabulous way to invite your guests! On Halloween, I’ve invited two other couples & their children over for dinner (pumpkin pizzas!) then we’re going to change the kids and trick or treat in my kids-friendly neighborhood! And my little sweeties (3&1) and going dressed as Woody (from Toy Story) and one of those little aliens! So cute!

I’m manning the front door with over 500 trick or treaters. Every year I still run out before 9PM. I love the fun but I refuse to buy more than 500 pieces. Our neighborhood is a magnet for extended vans from far away cities including Woodburn and I live in Tualatin. Wish me lots of energy.

This will be an exciting Halloween. I am expecting my first child in 2 months so my belly is getting pretty round so I thought I should be a pumpkin! haha… I am president of a club in college so I am planning the Halloween party for the department. Kind of scary! but hey, it’s Halloween! I could use that printer all year for my responsibilities in school AND for doing cute things for my new baby! 🙂 **Happy Halloween!**

Tradition is that we make sloppy joes, and othere things to go along with them and random neighbors come by for a sandwich as they trick or treat with their kids. Lots of fun. And this year we have our first grand baby to be here! Though only 4 months old.

We have a neighborhood tradition of ordering pizza and gathering all the kids in the street in their costumes before they all dash off to trick or treat in small groups. SOOOO fun! Thanks Leigh Anne for this idea, I never thought to run a paper bag through a printer.

Not sure if I’ll be dressing up but my kids will be. They’ll do the trunk or treat at church. My oldest will be a dark druella and my youngest is going to be Tiana from Princess and the Frog. Love that movie! I’ve thought about doing a kids Halloween party. Not sure though. Still on the fence about it.

I need a new printer-badly! This is just in time!! Was having surgery days before Halloween-but have put it off until Dec. 27th. So I’m super excited to go trick or treating now with my husband and son!

We have the trunk or treat, a youth party and of cousre, Halloween night. And YES, we’ll dress up for each event! 🙂 We’re new in the neighborhood, but I’m considering a Halloweenie roast type event to get to know our neighbors better.

We recently-a year ago–moved into a house that is in the heart of our small town. We have lots of trick-or-treaters–where we had live before was outside of town–in the sticks!–and we had none. We made chili last year and invited some friends who never get any Halloween traffic to come and share the fun of giving out candy. It was so much fun we will do it again!

This year we will be in Ireland during Halloween. I will be able to go to a annual neighborhood witch party the weekend before though. It’s a all ladies party (dressed in all sorts of witches costumes) and it a blast!

These are the cutest invites, love them on the brown paper lunch bags. We’ll dress the kiddos up and walk around our neighborhood, light the fire pit in the driveway, offer hot cocoa to the ones who want it (have it all set out in a crockpot) and have a good old time!

my son is 7, he wants to have a party, just him and I he said. I’m considering it: pizza, cupcakes, games. something simple, but we’ll invite a couple of people. on the 31st, just as we have done every year since his first Halloween, we’ll go to our city’s Halloween Howl at one of the parks: games, parade, jumpers, hotdogs, hot chocolate, popcorn & a bike raffle by the Sheriff’s dept.

This is such a neat idea. I love printing right on the paper bags. Sadly this year we don’t have any plans for Halloween. My husband and I just moved to a new town (Fort Worth, TX) and we don’t know anyone yet. So, I think we’ll just hand out candy to all the kids who come by and make it a stay home and watch movies night. It’s always fun to see the little kids in their cute costumes though. 🙂

We live in a trailer park and I don’t know that many people around. I wish there was a trunk or treat around – but there’s not. So to be safe – we head to the mall for trick or treating!

I don’t sew – but I recently purchased a sew mini machine and I actually accomplished making a costume for my son – he’s going to be Agent P from Phineas and Ferb and I loved how it turned out! My daughter is Princess Belle. Halloween is just so much fun!

ooh, our printer is actually broken right now so i could really use this 🙂 my kiddos are soooo excited for halloween – we are flying back to the midwest to spend halloween with grandma and grandpa! ps – your bags are so cute!! i love all your super creative party ideas 🙂

I hold an annual halloween cookie decorating party the week before… My son is a halloween pumpkin so his bday celebration is always full of halloween decor. I am also making candy corn cookies for my college baby and dorm mates!! I’m going to try making these bags to go with it. thanks for all the great ideas.

oh my, love those bags!!! could you share how you laid it out? well, I am a grandma, so I always have a party for the grands! we do it on halloween – usally. then all go together and trick or treat. great memories for all the cousins. sometimes, like this year we will have it the saturday before. we have a pinata, a game or two and LOTS of good food. I think I have as much fun as the kiddos! LOL… great give away!

What a great idea! I love your idea of printing right on the bags. You always have such good ideas. Where I work is finally getting into the Halloween spirit and we are actually dressing up for the holiday. I’ll probably finish the day off by welcoming a few trick-or-treaters.

Having a fun filled week of Halloween gatherings!! School parties and fun at the pumpkins patch on Saturday with family. Then trick or treating at our house around the neighborhood and giving out goodies!!

We have many Halloween activities on the weekend so Halloween should be pretty quiet at our house! I will be a witch for my third grade class on Monday! I love the bags! I’ve been decorating bags for years but I would sure love to print some on an awesome new printer!

We always have a few families over for a trick or treating kick off dinner. We always serve the exact same meal and have the place decorated all spooky and fun! This will be our sixth year! I REALLY hope I win the printer!!!!!

We have a Halloween party every year–the inside and outside is decked out, we have everyone make a scary food dish, and play tons of games with the kids, the one day of the year we can be who or what we want to be!

I love the bags! My birthday is on Halloween, and it’s always a lot of fun. This year, I’ll watch the costume parade at my youngest son’s school in the morning and then enjoy my day off. We’ll gather as an extended family at my parents for a quick bite to eat and the cousin will trick-or-treat together. I’ll pass out candy and enjoy seeing all of the creative costumes.

I love the idea of printing on brown paper sacks. Perfect for lots of things! Halloween plans … I’m staying home and packing some cute packages full of treats for the kids. Kind of boring, but this is the first Halloween at our new home, so we’ll figure out something exciting for next year!

Wow, what a cool printer! My daughter is a senior this year – too old to trick or treat – so we will probably just stay home and hand out candy to the neighborhood kids. I enjoy seeing their costumes 🙂

Our Halloween tradition is to have friends and neighbors come over for our soup and donut night. I prepare several varieties of soup and people just come at whatever time works best for them throughout Halloween night.

We have a fun party every year with the grandkids. I love these bag invitations! They are super cute. I may have to have a Halloweenie party now plus our regular Halloween party! Thanks so much for your fun ideas!

We love all holidays but Halloween especially. Every year we wait for the annual Halloween Carnival. Slowly Counting down to the very special night. The entire community gathers in for the Snake River Education Foundation’s fundraiser for scholorships. My husband and I have been in charge of hosting the event for the last 7 years. Looking at the printer, and those cute bags. The thought came to mind of how much that printer could help make the event that much more special. Printing out cute labels, stickers, bags, the list of possibilties is endless.

We moved out of state a few months ago, and for Halloween we get to fly back home to attend a Halloween family wedding! We’ll also be trick or treating at Grandma and Grandpa’s house with my toddler. Oh, and my printer just broke, so thanks for doing this! 🙂

I love Halloween and look forward to handing out treats to the neighbor kids. We have grown giant pumpkins for years and a lot of the kids come with their parents to have their pictures taken by our carved pumpkins. We are so excited because next year we will have a grandchild to start taking pictures at papa and grandma’s house!

My church has it’s Annual Fall Festival each year on Halloween. We offer a safe alternative to trick or treating and we have such fun! Games, bounce houses, cake walk and tons of candy!! Great printer!! 🙂

The older kids will be watching a scary movie with friends. My youngest still trick-or-treats. My favorite is putting on a cute costume I usually come up with about an hour before dark and passing candy to the cute kids that come to the door.

I would love to win your printer as my printer just died a long and slow death. Just when I really needed it! It died and went on to printer heaven.

We are going to dress up in costumes and join my son and his wife trick or treating with our adorable 3 year old grandson. I think it is so much fun now that I’m a grandma and get to re-live the fun that the kids experience during this wonderful night.

We are always the house our family gathers at for Halloween and I usually make apple crisp from the apples we’ve picked. Unfortunately my father passed away last month so things just won’t be the same this year. Still, I’m glad I had all those gatherings. They were fun times!

The boys will tour our neighborhood with my husband, and I’ll stay behind making chili & hotdogs for when they return. I’ll also have hot chocolate ready, and drink a few cups while I pass out candy and wait for my sweet goblins to return home. 🙂

We have a fun & fabulous halloween party hosted by a sister at her house. Everyone helps wth the food. We serve 3 different types of soups served in pumpkin bread bowls, caramel popcorn balls,and other yummy treats. Some of the adults stay back to treat the trick or treaters, and the older kids along with some of the parents make the rounds with the younger kids to trick or treat. The fun thing – all of the older children who have brought a date to this party in the past, has ended up marrying their halloween date! You have to think twice about who you bring to this party!

Great idea using the brown bags!! So many creative options with that one invite choice – interesting. As for Halloween, we are pretty low-key around here, having a 2 & 5 yr old. So it will be dress-up for them, heading over to Main Street for the annual candy grab from various shops, then home to walk the neighborhood for a bit. Nothing too crazy but special none-the-less. Thx for the giveaway!

We’ll be putting candy out by our front door but since we live on a quiet lane, we won’t expect many trick-or-treaters. My teenager is too old to go door-to-door with me but I love the memories of all the years we did it together (and with her older sister too). She’ll probably hang with friends that night and my husband and I will have a quiet evening together. I plan to bring some treats into work! They love my baking and I plan to try out your idea to print on paper bags.

I’ll be taking my two kids to trick or treat with their cousin and the adults always have a big pot luck set up in their cul de sac. It’s our Halloween tradition and my kids look forward to it for months!

we are taking the girls to see disney live fairy tale princesses two days before halloween and will trick or treat a few family on Halloween. We have talked about going to the Zoo Boo too, but I’m not sure if we will actually do that.

We will go to a friends house who puts on a Harvest Party for the whole church. We will all have our dinner together, roast marshmallows, go on hay rides, play some football, watch the little ones bounce in the bouncy house and drink hot chocolate. It is such a fantastic time at our friends farm. The kids do not miss the treats either…all children leave with a bag full of candy. Nice fall memories!

We live in a pretty rural area, so to take the kids trick or treating, its always lots of driving and in and out of the car. This year our ward is doing a trunk or treat. We all back into the church parking lot, throw open our decorated “trunks” and give out treats. We get to see everyone, less driving and more partying.

We just got our costumes picked out this week! I’m hoping for some fun new traditions in our new neighborhood but we always have soup and cider going at our house on Halloween. Thanks for the giveaway, it would be lovely to finally have a color printer 🙂

We are going to a block party on our street. Fire pits, fun spooky games for all the little gobblins and of course treats for all ages. My children have decided to be thing one and thing two this year. The best thing is we have everything all ready. Have a bootiful day.

We are pretty much the fun house in the neighborhood for the trick or treaters. Handing out full size candy bars makes us very popular with the cute little costumed darlings that stop by. We look forward to the doorbell ringing on the 31st.

This Halloween, we’ll have a treat of our own! Our new granddaughter will be here for some to see for the first time, if they come trick or treating to our house. She was born September 28 and will spend her first holiday here at our house.

I never stop loving Halloween. Maybe it is all those years of teaching school and Halloween parades. It is s reminder of student’s art work decorating our classroom and helping excited kids with make up and pinning costumes so they could march through the halls at school. This Halloween I get to relive those times with our two young granddaughters. Before they go out trick or treating, I’ll treat them to our traditional hamburgers with melted cheese jack o lantern faces and chili with orange cream cheese spiders with noodle legs.

Way cute bags!! I am in charge of the bake sale at the kids’ school fall festival. I am going to make some pendant banners and use some of your fabulous ideas from your roast and mummies night out. At church we are having a chili cook off and truck or treat (which is the first time for me). Maybe I’ll make white chicken chili…so good!!

We’re involved in the trunk-or-treat program at our church. Everyone brings a pot of soup to share. We provide around 400 donuts , while anyone who wants to participate can march in a costume parade. After the parade, everyone goes out to the parking lot and the trick or treaters go from vehicle to vehicle getting treats. It’s always a success. Many from the community participate in this event and look forward to it every year..

On Friday I will be hosting my best customers for a Halloween Creative Memories Workshop! I don’t have little ones anymore to go trick or treating, but I think I will send out invitations like yours to my customers. It will be fun to get excited about the holiday again! Thanks for the inspiration!

We are having a few friends over for Halloween and I would love to try your idea. We normally put out a bunch of Halloween-themed goodies plus a big pot of chili. Then we take all the kids trick or treating! Lots of fun!! I love all the inspiration on your site. I still have not found a costume for me yet.

Love the bags. I’ll be trick or treating with my grandchildren!!! My grandson’s daycare has a carnival and I think these treat bags will be great for the fish pond or oh so many things. Love your blog and thanks for all the ideas, I’ve used many!!! Susan

What a great idea to turn lunch bags into invitations. For Halloween, my husband and I will take our (almost) 2yr old twins trick-or-treating at a couple of friends/relatives. We will also carve pumpkins.

BTW, this is my first time visiting your site. I was looking for a muffin recipe and found it here. Your recipes look fantastic. I cant wait to try them!

With four kids now gone or soon to be gone from home, there is only two left. I am getting closer to only low key activities around here. Although, I am truly inspired by your empty nester’s block parties for every occasion for all the neighbourhood kids. That is amazing! And what a great idea for those of us who may think life is finished after the kids are gone. ; D Takes a village to raise a child they say!

My elementary school age children are having a party for their friends the Sunday before Halloween. We made homemade invitations and we’re now working on dressing up some generic goody bags as well as making our own deocrations. This is the first time that they are throwing their own party and they are sooo exited about EVERYTHING. We’ve been scouring the internet for simple but spooky food and drinks. It’s been a lot of fun.

We’ve got no plans yet. It’s doubtful that I’ll do anything very exciting as I’m experiencing some acute back pain…alas! I think I’ve been doing too much writing. Got my first memoir, It’s an Ill Wind, Indeed…, published for e-book on Kindle and a paperback at CreateSpace…and have now finished one for the first forty years – this one just for family – but the review copy is on its way. I may be proofreading it.

I had hoped to have it finished in time for giving to the family for Christmas this year. Looks like i’ll make it.

I plan to spend Halloween at home with my husband, some Halloween baked treats, and Food Network Halloween specials (and a Halloween themed movie for the hubby). We’re in our mid-twenties, but nothing sounds more wonderful to me! I’d also like to go to “Boo at the Zoo” with some girlfriends. I love Halloween, but I can’t wait for November 1st when the holiday preparations begin!

Hi, Lone your site. I will be working a 12 hour shift on Halloween. It will be fun to share the evening with the older generation. Sometimes, we forget about them, so it will be fun. Take care, and Happy Halloween to everyone!!!!! BOO!

What I will be doing is handing out candy, grilling hot dogs , and passing out hot chocolate. We are an inner city Church and we do a Trunk or Treat in our parking lot for the community. Is so great to talk to all the people, letting them know we are there for them.

Every year my mom makes biscuits and gravy for all the neighborhood kids for dinner. This has been a tradition of ours for a very long time. After we eat, our whole family gets together and we go out to mingle with the gobblins and ghouls. We’ve gone to the same neighborhood since we were toddlers. Each cul de sac has their own mini halloween block party. We get hot coco, hot cider and KING size candy bars. We all dress up and take our little nieces out. Good excuse to get our own candy 🙂 We love this tradition and look forward to it each year.

I don’t have plans for Halloween yet, but my Grandma would sure love this printer! My Grandpa, her husband of 55 years just passed away and her computer stopped working all in the same week. She just got a new computer and I’d love it if I could win this printer to give to her. I’ll probably spend Halloween with her, her new apartment has lots of kids to give candy to.

We are going to a Halloween party and we are supposed to bring a unique spider creation to enter a contest ! Any great ideas ? I never cease to be amazed at your creative abilities ! Thank You for your loving attitude and willingness to share with us all! Happy happy Fall!

Not really big Halloween people here. In fact, it’s my LEAST favorite holiday (probably behind Flag Day or Pearl Harbor Day). My kids will of course go out trick or treating (my hubby will take them) and I’ll pass out candy at the door. I do like seeing the little ones in their adorable costumes (not so much the older ones who really don’t even dress up at all).

We are combining my son’s 16th birthday and Halloween and having a huge party for our friends and family. We will also be passing out candy(the good stuff chocolate bars) and my 11 year old daughter has not decided yet if she wants to go trick or treating.

We’re going to dress up the dogs and walk the neighborhood on Halloween. The dogs love the attention they get, my kids (really too old to trick or treat) love being out and about on Halloween night and I love all the great pictures I can take. So much fun!

Fun! I need a new printer with all those feature, badly!! I will be passing out treats while my kids go around our neighborhood. They will get LOTS of candy, but our house is at the end of a long cul-de-sac, so we don’t get a huge amount of visitors that night. Blessings!

We will be taking our little ones to a local church for games, activities, and treats. It’s a nice warm and safe place for them to be.

I would love to win this printer, then I could do what I have been wanting to for so long, throw mine off our balcony! (I suppose I could use the guts for Halloween yard decor…”here lies a despicable unpredictable printer…”)

We have Trunk or Treat at our Church where everyone parks and dresses up their cars and themselves and let the kids Trick or Treat from car to car. Its always a hit and loads of fun with treats and games.. At Home we have Family Pumpkin Decorating night with fun food and treats.. We make Carmel Apples and Sugar cookies with frosting.. We love Halloween at our House 🙂
